Uzo Aduba and Randall Park star in Netflix's new whodunit series, "The Residence." They play a detective duo tasked with solving a murder that occurs during a White House State Dinner. The show features a mix of untrustworthy characters, creating chaos as they try to uncover the truth. Aduba plays Cordelia Cupp, a sharp consulting detective. Park plays FBI Special Agent Edwin Park, who works with her. Together, they must navigate a complex web of secrets among the staff and guests, including a cameo from Kylie Minogue. Aduba described her character as someone who quickly processes information and stands out in a room full of powerful figures. The show's dynamic mirrors classic detective duos, with Aduba and Park's characters embodying a love/hate relationship. While they may clash, their chemistry off-screen helps bring their characters to life. Park shares that he often marveled at Aduba's performance, while Aduba appreciates Park's good intentions and willingness to learn. The mystery reveals layers of hidden motives and secrets among the cast. Both Aduba and Park did not know the murderer’s identity until later in production, which kept them engaged in the plot. They expressed satisfaction with the show’s ending, highlighting the surprise factor in the storyline. Looking ahead, they hope for additional seasons and new mysteries to solve. Suggestions range from exotic locations like the Seychelles to more unexpected settings like a diner in Bakersfield. "The Residence" is currently available for streaming on Netflix.
